I had the problems with market very often and it`s not related to this rom only.

I think it has something to do with flashing often new Rom`s.

But clearing data and reboot solved this problem most of the time.

Has somebody installed the new update for Chrome beta?

I just did and now the app doesnt start anymore, just a note that

says: Chrome beta is not running on your system, you must have at least Android 4.0 running to use it!

(translated from German into English with my own words! ;)

Thats`s strange, but after restoring the old version with TB everything is working fine again!

It looks for me, that maybe Google does not want us to use Chrome on our custom Roms!?
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Market works fine. No problems except camera
[HTC Desire S] hippihippo:
Market works here, that only caveat bring that occasionally the notifications are screwed up. I have had it happen that apps have downloaded and updated but without leaving notifications.

Swyped from my Desire S.
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
Strange maybe its just me, I did a new fresh install. The market will download a few apps and then just stop downloading any. I clear the data and restart the phone, it does the same will download a few apps and then just stop again. Have you updated the rom from a previous version?
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
I had the same issue too...

Uninstall chrome and install the newest version again did solve that problem
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
That doesn't work for me. Tried it twice.

What have you done exactly?
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Exactly? Not much more to say..

I had an older version, tried to update it via market and got the same error you mentioned (not for this system blah blah)

I uninstalled chrome completely, and installed it again from market.

Then I could start it normally and it works (sadly I cannot see any improvements...still same pink bugs)
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
I'm doing double posts really often..:-)
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
Hm.. that's strange. I tried this several times, but it doesn't work.

Still the same stupid message.

I even tried with wiping cache and dalvik, but still no luck.

But as I can see on the market comments, I am not alone with this problem! :confused:
[HTC Desire S] Darky135:
I can't install apps from market :s

edit: nvm, fixed it by installing new gapps version
[HTC Desire S] Wrapp:
New chrome version doesnt work for me even after reinstall. Fortunately i have an tb backup of the old version

[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
it's something to do with the new version other people are having problems with different phones
[HTC Desire S] JackyJack:
Thank you :*
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
Ive reflashed this rom a couple of times and still got problems with the market, I have now flashed IceColdSandwhich and market works as it should do, the rom overall feels faster also.
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
In terms of features what's better this or ice cold sandwich?
[HTC Desire S] sadsac:
Am trying this from out again but getting high battery drain.

Is conservative still best governor for battery life?

Am on cm9 kernel, cheers
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
I'd say the features are the same, but IceColdSandwhich is a faster rom
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
Yes id say conservative is best gov for battery life. If you overclock this can use more battery too.
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
Can you also use themes on ice cold?
[HTC Desire S] Jiia:
Yes the markes it ****ed up. Couldn't get it to work no matter what. Installing another ROM.
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
To use the new chrome beta change ro.build.id to IML74K in build.prop and reboot.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
By the way... could it be that the pink is gone in chrome? I don't see it anymore on tab change in new beta...
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
You're damn right! Cool!

Thx for the build.prop tip!
[HTC Desire S] sadsac:
I have read the thread but I've forgotten sorry - is mic in skype/viber etc fixed now? Thanks
[HTC Desire S] GelullaBarr:
I don't understand where to find "build.prop"? how to change "ro.build.id to IML74K"? can you be more explicit, please? thank you
[HTC Desire S] taleks77:
You can find it in System folder. Open build.prop in text editor and change current ro.build.id to IML74K.
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
And if you can't open it directly in there, copy it with es file explorer to your SD, do the changes and copy it back!
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
You should be able to do it without doing that as long as your system is mounted as writable. in es just press menu, settings and tick all the root options at the bottom.
[HTC Desire S] GelullaBarr:
thank you guys. i'm woking on it...

It's working, I used Es file explorer, changed settings to acces root, edit the file and it kul now, thank you
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
Hey guys. I recently installed some video related patches to my own build. The problem is I don't know if they changed anything since I never tested video on nexx's rom. Can someone please report if there are video issues (flash or other) with the current rom? If so the please give examples. Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Flash never worked well for me. I had to use moboplayer and set it to soft decoding. Not sure about local media though
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
Might be the build.prop change also improves market compatibility... so anyone with market issues should try it too.
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
YouTube is working fine, but I can't say much about the other things.

I tried a flash video one time and it was quite slow and not really able to watch it.
[HTC Desire S] GelullaBarr:
the same like BeDesireS said, just youtube its working, i tried other sites and it's not working well...it is possible to make videocamera working on desire s? the photo it's k, sumetimes buggy, but ok, i'd like to use video cam on ics
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Does anyone other notice that at the market (browser) is unknown except HTC shown at the device?

No big thing, just wanted to ask, because I can't purchase apps at the market app (worked before) and maybe it's somehow related.

Checked the build.prop and can't see a fault, but could be that I missed something.

Swifted from my Desire S far away from my PC
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
Did you change ro.build.id to IML74K ?

And don't forget to reboot after the change
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Yes, but the same before and afterwards.

Even cleared market data and killed the process many times, no luck.

Something additional i noticed is that market stopped to autoupdate, it stays at 3.3.11.

Will try to download 3.4.4 and replace the current with it, maybe this solves it.

Otherwise will make a clean install and check if it persists.

But, chrome is working like a charm now ^^

[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
Anybody else having the issue that when a WLAN is being turned off, the phone doesn't switch back to mobile data. However, if I move out of the WLAN area (so the signal gets too weak), mobile data is switched on.

I remember this happening at the early stages of CM7 too.

Any way to fix this?
[HTC Desire S] big-okieh:
Yes, I noticed the same! When I leave the house in the morning it sometimes does not switch back from WLAN to 3G. Only Airplane mode on/off solves it.
[HTC Desire S] Kolo39:
I tried it but Market is still not working
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
Did you guys with market problems flash the gapps package from 1st post? And what is you market version?
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
You could try the inverted gaps package from ice cold sandwich. I'm using it with CM9 and working good so far....
[HTC Desire S] Kolo39:
I'm using MIUI with Market Version 3.4.4. The interesting thing was that it worked after first boot but then I rebooted the phone and it stopped working. No I didn't flashed these Gapps.

Gesendet von meinem HTC Desire S mit Tapatalk
[HTC Desire S] mikep1993:
Yeah i'm using MIUI too, tried the inverted market but no difference. still no downloads possible ;(

if someone find a solution i would be really happy ;) xD
[HTC Desire S] casaben:
Yep, when on WIFI, and it looses connection to the network, it will only switch back to data when you enable-disable airplane mode, or when the phone lost signal and then gets it back.

Youtube over data connection is horrible, unless you choose the setting to use high quality video on data connection - logical but it used to be not such a dramatic difference.

Droidwall doesn't work unless you switch off the ICS setting to enforce a data limit. Known ICS issue.

The 2G/3G setting when pulling down the notification bar works sometimes, and sometimes not. The enable/disable sync setting next to it, works now, but it takes 5-10 seconds to switch so be patient.

Torch through external app works but when enabling high brightness, it turns into a stroboscope :-)

GPS works really well and very fast after running FasterFix. Before that, GPS would take ages to initialize, vs. max. 10 seconds now.

Swype works again on ICS (previously there was an issue with downloading extra languages).

Battery life on WIFI is great, on data connection not so great, especially on 3G network. Although that is kind of a known thing, the difference is more noticable with CM9 builds.

I think that most of the above items are more related to ICS, not CM.

One thing though : since the 22 FEB build, my clock (status bar and lock screen), sometimes 'hangs' : it displays the wrong time. (e.g. at 8 am it would say 0:13 at night ) Strangly enough, the alarm still works correct.

Also, the backlight of the buttons has a life of its own. When watching videos in the dark, I prefer them to be off. On some builds, they stay on, on others they are off. Anyone can explain if there might be any settings you can apply to control that behaviour ? It would be a nice feature if it were possible.

The CM9 build is fast, and everyone I show it to, is impressed (even the IPhone users are jealous :) )

Finally, and this is a more general question, does anyone know why the phone uses so much more battery when it's in roaming ? (I've seen this with Sense, CM7,CM9, and I'm curious to find out :-) )

So apologies to mention things not specifically related to CM9, but I think all people following this thread are interested in having a good performing Desire S :-)
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Replaced old market with 3.4.4 and it's working now, anyways still wondering why it didn't update itself.

Just as sidenote, download worked all the time, purchasing just didn't work.

Edit : did flash gapps after flashing cm like everytime. Used the package 20120207.

[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
My market worked fine so far. I rebooted my phone, and now I cannot download anymore. Even with latest 3.4.4
[HTC Desire S] Kolo39:
Same with MIUI

[HTC Desire S] nk111:
I think the market issues are then caused server side and not rom related. Why should it just stop working when nothing was changed...

Let's hope the google guys are working over weekend :)
[HTC Desire S] hyperdude111:
I've been having market issues for a while now but have managed to fix it by using market unlocker pro to spoof my carrier to Verizon and use a US proxy server. If you want to try it make sure the market is not running when you enable the proxy or it won't work.
[HTC Desire S] mikep1993:
Thanks but this isn't working for me either.

Force stopped the market via apps and after that I enabled proxy and Verizon...

waiting for 2 minutes now but download doesn't start.
[HTC Desire S] hyperdude111:
It happens sometimes but this is how it works for me.

1. Reboot

2. Open market unlocker and spoof Verizon as carrier

3. Change tab to proxy and fetch US proxy automatically then check "enable proxy"

4. Open market

5. ~Install apps!

If it has worked there should be an extra section of the market for Music as well as the other sections.

Yeah I know this are us only functions. These were here but was not able to download.

Note I did a quote again flashed tiamat. I use smart ass v2 only oc without the deamon. I will test it the next days fit battery life and stability.

But I don't want reboot because I don't knowif the kernel out the reboot solved the issues...

But will try it now...

If it works after reboot and the kernel is useable in battery life and stability. (well test it 3 days) the guy (over in the miui thread) which gave me the tip well get the 5$ donation. (but only if there is no better tip the next three days xd)

Battery life comparison

Update: I reran the test with a clean install of V22. Results for V11 and V22 are identical. So the battery life is good in both.

They both lose only 7% over 9 hours.

Makes me wonder in I had something else installed as well in V22 in the original test.

Original data:

V22.02.12: 15% drop in 4.5 hours

V11.02.12: 7% drop in 9 hours

V22 uses battery 4x faster than V11

Test done with wifi, data, synching all on, but no usage of the phone.

V11 was a clean install.

V22 flashed over V11.

V22 screenshot (started at 100%)

V11 screenshot (started at 77%)

[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Try the test from the same starting percentage, I find battery life drops quicker over some percent ranges than others. I haven't really noticed any change in the overall battery life, so if your test proves to be accurate then it may be just a WiFi related issue since I never use WiFi.
[HTC Desire S] mikep1993:
yeah my phone is still listed online ;) . No idea perhaps it's from a previous market version.

Tested the buy thing for you. No i can't buy stuff on my phone. But via web-market so it's no problem for me.
[HTC Desire S] Kolo39:
Maybe I will send a mail to Google if somebody can add it manually ;)

Do you mean v22 of the rom?
[HTC Desire S] Bewinxed:
ICS in winter? challenge accepted!

Went back to this again, Love Love Love it!

Google backup never worked until i installed it :D it's really snappy & smooth

i'm getting some issues with the lockscreen though, when i am playing music the lockscreen is split in two, the upper half has the distorted album art (and the album art is a LOT brighter there, even on music app) and the bottom half has the lock symbols & the BG is pitch black.

the same happens when someone rings me, their distorted contact photo in the upper half, pitch black on the bottom, looks a little wrong to me ovo.

Really Great ROM anyways, I'd love some Lowveld Magic on this one (like reaper control, GPS patches and whatnot).

Any chance for 2G/3G switching? ^^
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
2g 3g switch fix is already in the pipeline...

Why does the Goolge Chrome Beta not work on this rom....?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
please try reading the thread.
[HTC Desire S] BillGoss:
I use a PIN to secure access (corporate requirement) and use the Quick Unlock feature.

Occasionally I type my PIN incorrectly and exceed the number of attempts due to pressing the back key. The phone then enforces a timeout before allowing me to enter the PIN again.

So far so good.

Unfortunately the phone doesn't properly reset the PIN entry count so that I get an invalid attempt before I have completely entered my code after the timeout. This means I cannot get back into the phone and I have to restore everything from a backup via Recovery.

Can the PIN reset logic be fixed so that it behaves properly after the timeout?

That`s the sign, that the phone rings and vibrates on incoming call.

If you touch the sign you can choose between,

just ring, ring + vibrate, only vibrate and silent.

the latest version is very unstable for me...i had a lot of freezes and reboots...is anyone facing this too?
[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:

No unknown issues here. I only have hang & reboots with heavy 3D usage, otherwise it's smooth and stable
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
I was just about to say the same thing. Considering going back to the previous one.

Does tiamat solve teh reboots and freezes?
[HTC Desire S] Bewinxed:
Creamy~

Even more stable than my last ROM lol, no problems so far :D

except some artifacts on the camera pics

@nexx : the news+weather FCs if you press the (i) button on the top right of the forecast, just heads up ovob

Lovely RoM, any idea how to get a transparent status bar without shooping the ROM? :D
[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:
Somewhat but not completely. But i am finding it faster...

So give it a try...:D
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Thanks, trying it now. I heard people said tiamat drains battery a lot quicker, have you noticed that?

Yep. I did.

[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:
No. I didn't notice that much drainage. It might have increased but very minor.
[HTC Desire S] mikep1993:
Really? I don't have a battery drain with tiamat.

Today was my second day without charging. (Normal usage).

I use normal OC - SmartassV2

In the CPUFreq tab i setted min freq 192 000 and max freq 1 056 000.

Had one freeze during a game.

Does someone know if the maker of tiamat is aware of these freezes?

If not how can we inform him about that issues (with logs or something else?)

tiamat kernel had similar issue on gb kernel. that's normal i think. they do 17 kernel for other devices in same time ;)
[HTC Desire S] Neoload:
Sorry ^^
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
The freezes are probably due to the fact that Tiamat kernels are slightly UV'd by default. This increases battery life but may cause a freeze now and then. You can try an app and increase the voltage if you want.

Edit: The dev already knows about this issue ;)
